The announced investment covers more than the electrolyser

The investment this project announced works out to 5055 EUR/kW of electrolyser, above the 5000 EUR/kW ceiling GaugeH2 accepts for one — so it is not an electrolyser cost. Announced investment usually covers the whole project: the renewables, the storage, the ammonia or e-fuel plant, the port works.
